“…The brown seaweed family is classified into 13 orders (Gupta & Abu-Ghannam, 2011a), about 300 genera (Silberfeld, Rousseau, & Reviers, 2014), and an estimated 1836 known species (Wehr, 2015). However, only three orders, laminarales, fucales, and dictyota, have been widely explored for their phytochemicals (Gupta & Abu-Ghannam, 2011a).…”

Prospects of brown seaweed polysaccharides (BSP) as prebiotics and potential immunomodulators

et al. 2017

Prebiotics enhance immune response through the modulation of intestinal microbial activities, production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA), direct interaction with toll‐like receptors and mucin production. These non‐digestible food components are known to be resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis by digestive enzymes and are utilized as carbon source for the growth of beneficial bacteria population through the process of fermentation. Brown seaweed polysaccharides (BSP) have been described as emerging prebiotics due to their potential to stimulate gut microbiota activities at in vitro and in vivo stages. This review therefore examines evidence of the relationship between the prebiotic capacity of BSP, their structure, extraction, and possible mechanisms of immunomodulation. Practical applications Bio‐functional ingredients have been widely explored for numerous health benefits. Of interest to this review are polysaccharides of brown seaweed which have great prebiotic prospects. Prebiotics are important bio‐functional ingredients having the potential to improve immune health. An understanding of the prebiotic and immunomodulatory potential of BSP provides the food industry a novel alternative source of prebiotics. Excerpts from this review will provide background knowledge and advance scientific research into prospects of BSP as prebiotics and a possible commercialization of BSP products.

“…Dari semua jenis yang telah teridentifikasi, Phaeophyceae memiliki persen kontribusi lebih tinggi (60%) dibandingkan kelas Rhodophyceae (40%). Phaeophyceae merupakan kelas terbesar dan beragam bentuk mulai dari filamen berukuran kecil hingga ukuran sangat besar dan kompleks [45]. Kelas ini terdistribusi secara luas di perairan tropis dan sub tropis [46], serta dapat tumbuh di air tawar dan laut [45] [47].…”

Makroalga merupakan salah satu potensi sumberdaya laut yang secara ekologis berperan dalam meningkatkan produktivitas primer perairan, bioremediasi berbagai jenis polutan, penyedia oksigen, sumber makanan, dan menyediakan habitat berbagai jenis biota akuatik lainnya. Secara ekonomi, makroalga juga potensial untuk dikembangkan karena mengandung berbagai senyawa bioaktif yang dapat dimanfaatkan di berbagai bidang industri. Keanekaragaman jenis dan kelimpahan makroalga sangat dipengaruhi oleh parameter fisika-kimia perairan. Desa Temajuk, Kecamatan Paloh memiliki keanekaragaman sumberdaya alam, termasuk makroalga. Lokasi pengambilan sampel sebanyak tiga stasiun dan ditentukan menggunakan metode purposive sampling, berdasarkan keberadaan makroalga. Sampling makroalga dilakukan menggunakan kuadrat transek dengan ukuran 10x10 m 2 dan pengukuran parameter fisika-kimia perairan menggunakan WQC AZ 8603. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis makroalga yang ditemukan yaitu Padina, Turbinaria, Sargassum, Acanthopora, dan Gracilaria. Dari semua jenis yang teridentifikasi, Phaeophyceae memiliki persen kontribusi lebih besar (60%), serta Padina dan Sargassum memiliki kelimpahan tertinggi, yaitu 21,31 ind/mek 2 dan 19,42 ind/m 2 secara berturut-turut. Perairan Desa Temajuk memiliki tingkat keanekaragaman sedang, keseragaman tinggi, dan dominansi rendah. Kondisi perairan mempengaruhi kelimpahan makroalga di perairan Desa Temajuk, Kecamatan Paloh.

“…The biogeography of freshwater benthic (macro)algae is largely understudied but recent research, supported by molecular data, has shown that there are many taxa with restricted distributions as well as widely distributed species (Wehr, 2015).…”

“…Besides Lake Constance, this brown alga was reported to occur in three smaller lakes in Austria: Lunzer Untersee, Zeller See and Traunsee. Hence, B. lauterbornii can be regarded as one of the rarest taxa in the world (Wehr, 2015). Since the 1950s, the living conditions of many organisms in Lake Constance have changed radically as a result of the immigration of neozoa, especially the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas).…”

“…If Bodanella does not differ from the widespread Heribaudiella , as suggested by McCauley & Wehr (2007) on the basis of molecular data, then Bodanella , as a phylogenetic taxonomic unit, would not be rare. However, Bodanella develops a peculiar morphology that persists in culture (Wehr, 2015). This is most likely an ecomorph that represents an adaptation for living on hard substrates at great depths in lakes.…”
